in reply to perl beginner question

you have to use use modulename inside your .pl file.
if the .pm file is in the other directory, mention that path in the @INC variable, or use 'use lib' pragma, or -I option to the interpreter.
you can call that routine like classname::routinename as plain
with OO you can call classname->routinename
see my earlier post Re^3: A Class inside a Perl script?

      Let's say you have a package: test.pm

      package test;

sub mysub {
    return 'babayaga';
}

1;

      [download]

      Then in your .pl file

      #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use test;

print test::mysub();

      [download]
      If you want to use directly mysub() read this one here: Exporter
